Quite a few years back I made some patriotic quilts. They were completed way before blogging and recording quilts digitally. In total, I made three quilts out of red, white and blue fabrics. I used a postage stamp pattern to quilt them. I donated two of them to a veteran's organization and kept the third for myself. I thought it would be nice to take to the fireworks on Independence Day. After a few years, I lost track of that quilt only to discover that my son packed it in his things when he moved to California 5 years ago. While cleaning and sorting my fabric stash, I came across an old bin of remnants. In it was the leftover scraps from the red, white and blue quilts. Today, I would consider some of those fabrics outdated and never considering buying them now and others are so adorable I wish I had more. So I took them all out and sorted through them and found some sewn strips. So I took them and made them into a stacked coins pillow cover.
After completing it, I found it a perfect spot on the front porch rocker. Now that it has a place, I envision making a table cover for the bistro table on the porch as well.
